Powerful magic. A deadly legacy. A world at the edge of war.
Prepare to be spellbound by The Black Witch.
Evil looms on the horizon, and for Elloren Gardner, granddaughter of the last Black Witch, pressure to live up to her magical heritage is building. Ellorenâs people, the Gardnerians, believe she will follow in her grandmotherâs footsteps. But Elloren is utterly devoid of powerâin a society that prizes magical ability above all else.
Granted the opportunity to study at the prestigious Verpax University, Elloren sets out to embrace a destiny of her own, free from the shadow of her grandmotherâs legacy. But the university may be the most treacherous place of all for the granddaughter of the Black Witch, and Elloren soon realizes that the world she knows is not what it seems. If she is to survive the coming danger, sheâll have to free her mind from the assumptions she was raised with, and learn to trust the very people sheâs been taught to hate and fear.
